I wont be surprised if both MI and DC failed to capture the tournament, as you said the tournament is getting tougher and RCB have a well balanced team even though they have a weak bowling line up their batting is world class and Kings Punjab is performing well after Gayle is back in the team and KL Rahul is the highest run scorer in this tournament and he might continue his form till the end.

CSK is out of this tournament but they can be joy killers coming up with unexpected performances and upsets. If they played the level of cricket and picked the right team rather than giving opportunity to players that are not performing they should have won many matches that they lost.

Punjab is on a winning spree and after the arrival of Gayle they never lost a match and it is hard to bet against them simply because they should have lost the match against SRH but they were not willing to loose that match and it is the best comeback of this tournament.

The retirement of Khabib is not shocking as everyone was talking about him retiring at 30 and 0 but when he announced at 29 it was surprising and the legacy created by him will be forever and i am sure he will be coaching all his friends and kids and the projects his father started.

I expected Anderson Silva to retire when he broke his leg in the fight but he is one fighter who forgot about retirement and he is around 45 years and he should retire from the sports even though he is still a high level fighter but a shell of his past.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is taking the match really close and Manish Pandey wasted many balls and then lost his wicket and they are in a bit of trouble while i thought they will be winning the match easily, they still have wickets at hand but if they loose a couple of wickets they will be in real trouble even though they just need 17 runs to win from 14 balls. The only positive for them is that the main bowlers finished their overs and they have Jordan and Arshdeep Singh to finish the rest of the overs.

Edit: lost another wicket

It looks like the opening match win for CSK was a curse as they never came close to having a decent performance after that and it is the worst season they had and they will be stuck at the bottom and today's performance was the nail in the coffin as MI dominated them in every aspect. Before the IPL started i had high hopes and i even picked them to win the tournament but i was totally wrong .

If you look at the market, it always moved along with the hype, in the beginning any news coming out from certain countries would have a weight age and that would propel the price forward and now that is gone and then the ICO hype was there and now when the market is about to go higher we have the DeFi hype as well as other news.

May be this is a news that is lacking the entire year and the market jumped over 6% with this single news is fascinating as the news of Paypal integrating bitcoin helped break the resistance we were waiting to break for a very long time, i am not sure and lets see how long this rally will last and the month end is coming and lets see how the options expiry will make any changes.

I never used DAI and i am not a big believer in holding USDT for a long period of time, there are exchanges that will allow you to hold the funds in your local currency or USD if i am holding it for a longer period of time. Each and every market has its own pros and cons and since USDT has a much bigger liquidity i would hold them whenever i am booking my profits.

Kolkata Knight Riders was having a good run and they won three of their last three matches and having a good run before this match and i was expecting RCB to win the match but i did not anticipate this kind of domination. The toss was crucial as the wicket was fresh but the KKR captain choose to bat and it was helping the bowlers a lot and if RCB was batting first they would have struggled too.

The only bowlers they need to worry in a situation like this is Rabada and Ravichandran Ashwin and both have one over left and all they need is to rotate the strike to win the match, but i am hoping for a late surprise simply because Kings XI Punjab is playing as they have taken ordinary chases to the last moment and they have chocked in the past  .

Back to back centuries in IPL is a big feat and Shikhar Dhawan is the only player to do that and i picked Kings XI Punjab to win the match and with the way they are batting it is possible for them to win the match as they need 53 runs in 54 balls and considering how  Kings XI Punjab take the match closer i am expecting a narrow win even though they are in a good position now  .

People are doing illegal activities well before bitcoin is in existence and if not for bitcoin they will be using other forms of currencies to transact, for a long time coupons were used to do these sort of activities but that does not mean it is used entirely to do illegal activities. If people are using bitcoin then it will having public trial and they will be caught eventually.

The matches are really close and it is really difficult to predict most of the time but my picks are almost alright but sometimes the matches that i pick end up loosing because of blunders in the last two overs or fielders messing things up. This time the competition is so high and i have not seen Delhi playing like this in the past and they have a perfect combination of players and CSK is missing that combination and hence they are struggling.

No one expected two matches to tie today and it is an exceptional game of cricket for the fans and it is difficult for anyone to predict these kind of games. In the first game Warner could have taken them to victory but unfortunately tied the match and lost the match in the super over and now in this match the situation is exactly like the world cup, tie in the match and the first super over is a tie and if the second super over is a tie will they go for another super over  .

Edit:  Finally Kings XI Punjab won the match and inclusion of Gayle in the later part is a major change in their fortunes and they should have done that from the start.

Finally the fight is a few hours away and i am waiting for this match up for a very long time and i am expecting to see Lomachenko to put in a clinical beating on Lopez but it is going to be interesting to see how the young Lopez would cope with the technical expertise and footwork of Lomachenko and whether he will go for a brawl and how he is going to counter his movement.

Who really cares about a centralized digital currency, the valuation depends upon how much the investors are interested in the concept and i doubt whether it will go further than what is anticipated by the Chinese government. They are creating this to overcome the financial restrictions imposed upon them and whether it will be a successful move is to be seen as i do not bode with it.

Everything was going smoothly according to my pick and then RR lost it completely in the end by loosing wickets, once Ben Stokes lost his wicket then DC was able to come back into the game and their selection of bowlers when you bowl certain overs was crucial in this match, with Shreyas Iyer injured while fielding Shikhar Dhawan took over the captains role and it was successful in the end.

Asking Sam Curran to open the innings was a really good move and i expect them to continue with that strategy and for the first two overs he was striking the ball and the first ball Faf du Plessis got to strike he was dismissed for a golden duck. The middle order contributed especially Jadeja and if not for his innings CSK would not reach a competitive total and SRH have the players to chase the score. CSK will not realized that they are far behind when chasing and i am sure they would have lost the match if they were chasing .

You cannot write off Chennai just yet, i am still expecting that they could come back strongly and they played well even though they had some short comings and this is the first time they won the toss and batted first and they won the match.

Don't worry about that, i was confused during the initial stage and all or most my picks were wrong as i was not able to watch the matches live but now things are improving and you can be lucky as well.
